I suggest you try actually reading the story, because it's a fair assumption from this response that you surely haven't. I read the story, I read Maggs response, which of those two did you not read; because again its clear you didn't. The points for the hard of thinking are: 1) just because the shopkeeper has dark skin doesn't make her or him a muslim (check for them Singh surnames) and so unless you know the shopkeeper is muslim and selling alcohol its an ill-informed tabloid generalisation; and 2), turning this into a muslim bashing exercise lets the tories and their puppies off the hook. This is my comment Now where did I say all corner shops are run by muslims ?. I'm well aware of the different religions of the shop owners, and yes they are a mixed bunch from black white yellow atheist muslim sikh. However I am also aware a lot of these shops which sell lottery tickets, alcohol and top shelf magazines are also owned or run by muslims. There is no way you can dispute this. Oh and the reason I mentioned musliom shopkeepers is because we are talking about Muslims and their religious beliefs as regards paying interest.

Why would checking them fur surnames neshasharily help? It is quite possible to be called Singh and be Moslem, Hindu, Sikh, Kristyin ur even an RC ur a proddie Although ah sae know a Gerupta Singh whose a karaoke singer

And still tired of waiting for those who'd take offence on others' behalf to tell me exactly WHY those of the Muslim persuasion are any the worse off than anyone else when it comes to the affordability of tuition fees? Anyone?
